AHB Advisor, scholar-activist Paul Longmore, passed away on August 9, 2010. The history department at San Francisco State University where Paul was a tenured professor has begun a petition in his honor that seeks to further the work he began as a disability rights activist. To add your name to the growing list of signatories please fill out the form, below. Thank you!

The Petition:

We, the undersigned, urge that the Social Security Act be further modified to allow people with disabilities to accept scholarships and fellowships without endangering their eligibility to receive life-support payments through S.S.I. We present this petition to honor the legacy of Professor Paul K. Longmore, whose efforts led to the enactment of the “Longmore Amendment” to the S.S.A.
